About the plugin

This plugin allows you to integrate custom recipes and JEI into your mod, together with wide array of side features to enhance your mod even futher.


Wiki:

For extensive information about this plugin check out the wiki:

zsemper.github.io/plugins/jei_integration/


Getting started:

To start you need to enable the JEI API under your workspace settings. You can still use the plugin without enabling the plugin, but it wont include the jei information and every element used for jei in the recipe types are disabled.


Setting up a recipe type:

The main mod element in this plugin is the "Recipe Type", which allows you to set up a recipe type for your custom recipes. To create one you need a texture that is 256 by 256 pixel large that is used in jei as a background for the recipe category, afterwards you need to specify the x and y coords together with the width and height to select the part of the texture that is used.

You also need to set a title and a displayed icon for the recipe category in jei.

 

The second page is the most important as it is used to set the actual slots and inputs/outputs of the recipe type.

The IO determines if the slot in an input or an output slot. The type can be one out of five types, either an item, a fluid, logic, a number or text. The name is the name that is used as a key in recipes and procedures, and to be unique for each slot in the recipe type. The x and y are only used for item and fluid type to set the location in the jei recipe category. Optional means that this slot can be left out in recipes and can be air in procedures. Logic, number and text slots require a default value if set to optional.


Creating a recipe:

To create a custom recipe select the recipe type the recipe is gonna use.

Below you can set the inputs and outputs, which follow almost the same structure as in the recipe type.

First set the type of the input/output, like in the recipe type, and secord set the name, which has to match the one set in the recipe type. Afterwards the item, fluid, logic, number or text input/output in the recipe.

Hi, can you merge my translation?
https://github.com/zSemper/JEI-Integration-MCreator-Plugin/pull/6

Small feature suggestion: Search Aliases (Like barrier's "nothing", diamond block's or golden hoe's "expensive")

Hey I've been testing the mod for a while now and it could be cool if you could make blocks that make vanilla recipes (like for an autocrafter or smth) so it would be cool if you added a procedure block to get the vanilla recipes too, anyway very cool plugin

oh yeah and also I got this warning for the plugin using a deprecated function
warning: [removal] addRecipeCatalyst(ItemStack,IRecipeType<?>...) in IRecipeCatalystRegistration has been deprecated and marked for removal
registration.addRecipeCatalyst(new ItemStack(TechOverdriveModBlocks.CRUSHER_PREVIEW.get().asItem()), CrushingCategoryType);
^
1 warning

Oh. My. God. FLUID INGREDIENTS??? MULTIPLE OUTPUTS??? NO MORE CONVERTING FLUID ITEMS TO FLUIDS FOR IT TO WORK? NO MORE USING INPUT SLOTS TO MIMIC OUTPUTS? THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!!!

is there a way to get the number input of a recipe
something like "set [dif] to ([heat] - [number input of recipe X of typeY name Z])

mine keeps crashing with this text :(

I'm unable to set a new clickable area! It keeps goings back to x16 y16 and x61 y61 respectfully. I tried removing and adding it, turning the feature on and off but nothing works!

I couldn't confirm the issue, the only reason it might happen is that you have both v1.3 and an older version of the plugin installed, since in an older version had the issue with the x being set as the y
